eIh New York, made quite a rircnit
among creameries of that section and
purchased several thousand pounds tina
product of months making. H.. maid
1879 cents pound. On his return home
De saw party who was collecting dairy
butter for him in Waterbury and Stowe
u and the party shipped large amount
winch netted II cents pound The dairy
butter was considered to be. perhans
Better than the average dairy and -
SOLD as high spondingIy as the
creamery made. The New York grade
was put in ''cold storage and later in
the season sold in Lawrence from % to
20 cents a pound. In the fall Mr.. Drew
sent up TO same factories and bought the
remainder OF the butter at % cents a
pound on the cars. After the milk sun
ply became so small that the factories
stopped making butter, the factory own
ers asked the privilege of sending for
ward some of the dairy made butter
which their milk customers made after
the factories stopped working. and it
netted them only II cents pound. Here
was pretty good test of the difference
In the price of butter Butter from
the same cows, made a few DAYS
AFTER the creamery product was selling
at 20, which brought only little more
than half that price. During the same
time butter was being consigned to Mr.
Drew on commission from Orleans coun-
" which did not net Il cents pound
We asked what made the great difference
IN the selling prices in the Lawrence
market. He said that it was becom-
ing more and more difficult TO sell dairy
butter from year To year, and that the
real difference consisted largely in the
fact that the butter from the creameries
is not only better. but that it is uniformly
good There are no poor packages. 1t
is made better, put up better and has
Won such a reputation that no dairy
butter can compete with it. Mr.. Drew
thinks it a strange thing that the people
of this county do not more readily 90
into the creamery butter making.
